Vibration-Damped Turning Tool Holders for Stable, Productive Turning
Chatter shouldn’t force you to slow down. MAQ STMD™ turning tool holders automatically respond to changing vibration conditions, helping maintain stable cutting, improve surface finish, extend insert life, and increase productivity in demanding turning applications.
MAQ offers a wide range of configurations, including unique 6 mm and 8 mm small-diameter solutions, with reach options from 3×D to 15×D.
Is Vibration Limiting Your Turning Performance?
You may be losing productivity if:
· You reduce cutting speeds to avoid chatter
· Surface finish varies between parts
· Tool life is shorter than expected
· Operators frequently adjust cutting parameters
· Vibration limits productivity in demanding turning operations
Why Manufacturers Choose MAQ
Machine demanding turning operations with confidence Maintain stable cutting conditions in roughing, finishing, and interrupted turning applications.
Increase productivity without sacrificing quality Run higher speeds and feeds while maintaining excellent surface finish and extending tool life.
No tuning. No adjustments. STMD™ technology automatically adapts to changing cutting conditions, eliminating the need for manual tuning or setup changes.
Turning Tool Holders for Demanding Applications
Explore MAQ’s range of vibration-damped turning tool holders, including unique 6 mm and 8 mm small-diameter solutions, multiple cutter-head configurations, and reach options from 3×D to 15×D.
Internal Coolant Channel
Internal coolant helps deliver coolant directly to the cutting area for more effective chip evacuation and cooling.
Why Traditional Vibration-Damped Holders Reach Their Limits
Traditional vibration-damped tool holders are designed to perform best at a specific vibration frequency. As cutting conditions change, their damping performance can decrease.
MAQ’s patented STMD™ technology continuously adapts during machining, helping maintain stable cutting conditions across a wider range of applications.
By responding in real time, STMD™ reduces chatter, improves surface finish, and enables higher productivity without manual tuning or adjustments. The result is more stable machining across demanding turning applications, including long-overhang conditions where vibration can limit performance.
